Audi A4   Controls   Driving  Cruise control system
Applies to vehicles: with cruise control system
The cruise control system allows you to drive at a constant speed of 30 km/h or higher.
Pull the lever to position -1- Fig. 1 to switch on the system.
Drive at the speed you wish to set the system to.
Press the button marked -A- to store the speed.
The instrument cluster display will indicate the stored speed, and the green symbol will appear Fig. 2. The display can vary according to the display status.
A constant speed is maintained by adjusting the engine power or braking the vehicle accordingly.
WARNING!
  • Always direct your full attention to the road, even when you are using the cruise control system. It is always the driver who is responsible for determining the speed and for keeping a safe distance to the other vehicles on the road.
  • For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in city traffic, stop-and-go traffic, on roads with a lot of bends or in difficult or slippery driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, etc.) - risk of accident!
  • When you take a turn-off, drive along a motorway exit lane or pass through roadwork sections, please temporarily switch off the cruise control system.
  • Make sure you do not unintentionally rest your foot on the accelerator - this will override the cruise control system which, as a result, will not brake the vehicle.
  • The automatic braking function may be deactivated if a system fault occurs in the brake system (e.g. if the brakes overheat) while the cruise control system is activated. All the other cruise control functions remain activated as long as the indicator lamp is lit.
Note
  • Vehicles with manual gearbox: The set speed cannot be reached if the currently selected gear is too high or too low or if the engine would overrev or fail to run smoothly at the target speed. Make sure to change up or down a gear in good time.
  • The brake lights come on when the system brakes the vehicle.
